Reactions of Ketene Acetals. III. A New Synthesis of α-Pyrones. II

Abstract
The cycloaddition of chloroketene acetals to α, β-unsaturated aldehydes and ketones gives the corresponding 2,2-dialkoxy-3-chloro-3,4-dihydro-1,2-pyrans. Treatment of these compounds with alkoxides in dimethylsulfoxide or dimethylformamide yields α-pyrones directly. Some intermediates and by-products have been identified and the reaction conditions have been studied.
